Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I became a Christian at the early age of seven. Since then, God and I have been inseparable, but this does not mean that I did not struggle and suffer. God chose me at a young age to carry out his purpose and from a young age, even until now I have been an outcast and tossed to the side by people I loved dearly. I have lived through physical violations, insecurities, and verbal abuse. As I grew up, I became walking toxic, so broken and afraid to pick myself up. Pain was all I knew. That is until God told me I had to speak for those like me. It turns out everyone is hurting, looking for solutions. I didn't realize that I had the solution to my problems with me ever since I was a young girl. God showed me how to accept redemption from him so that I could teach others how to live as they walk with Christ. Holding nothing back, I have put my imperfect walk with Christ on display for everyone to see, vulnerability became my strength. Through my unbelief and blessings, God was unchanging. He only wanted to prepare me for his glory. He wants people to understand that his love for all is unshakable. I am merely a vessel given the strength to tell others how I stopped my heart and soul from aching, how I learned to leave my past behind and accept my future as a redeemed being. My pain was left in the forsaken past. I have had brighter days and more are to come. Redemption: For My Crying Soul is about me dealing with my overwhelming pain and misery by embracing God's character.

Download or read book October 7 Voices of Survivors and Witnesses written by and published by Easton Studio Press LLC. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: October 7. The date evokes a harrowing fear. The news broke worldwide that on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, Hamas terrorists had descended on the Supernova Music Festival, several nearby communities near the Gaza Strip, and IDF bases, brutally slaughtering anyone in their path; wiping out families and tearing apart entire families; and kidnapping over two hundred innocent civilians. As footage made its way across the internet and eventually into the hands of news stations and publications, mainstream media outlets quickly deemed most of it too graphic to reveal to audiences. Still images surfaced of a brutality beyond comprehension. This collection of writings by survivors of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust is groundbreaking in scope and detail. These raw, first-hand accounts memorialize the murdered and keep that day alive in our collective conscience. The events of October 7 will never be forgotten by those who were witnesses, and the impact must be shared with the rest of the world. As one survivor writes, “The whole world needs to know what we’ve been through.” In these writings, we learn of the many acts of heroism that such events so often inspire. And we read of the agonizing pain a parent of a child taken hostage endures; tributes to a fallen father who died protecting his disabled daughter; poems honoring lost sons, daughters, husbands, and wives; recalls of the Torah; and pleas for peace. Each portrayal opens wide the door to grief, giving the reader an unfiltered account of that terrible day. Some of these writings may be difficult to read, but it is vital that we do read them and understand the impact that day has had on so many lives. Proceeds from the publication of this book will be provided to organizations that support the survivors and their families.

Download or read book Slow Brewing Tea written by Randy Loubier and published by Randy Loubier. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Insightful, moving, and at times deeply profound, this book will have you turning each page in anticipation. It’s the introspective reader’s dream–a spiritual journey woven beautifully through a love story. A book that will cause you to think on what it means to love and be loved.” Nancy H. Isaiah set off on a ten day motorcycle adventure in northern, rural Japan. His quest, at the age of twenty, was to photograph the quiet mysterious culture, meet a Japanese woman and find The Tao (the way). He took stunning photographs, fell deeply in love with an extraordinary Japanese woman and found an old man willing to teach him the way, the truth and the narrow gate. Over the next forty years Isaiah’s life tumbles through lessons of pain and redemption, loss and victory in search of a path of unconditional love and faith. Be transformed by a journey into traditional Japan, a mystical land of tea ceremonies, Japanese gardens, rich culture and unexpected spiritual revelations. Slow Brewing Tea is an epic spiritual adventure and a touching love story that will compel you to look deeper at your relationships with your God, your spouse and the path beneath your feet. For four hundred years, the Oda clan kept a secret. In 1593, Oda Nobumasa, the son of infamous Oda Nobunaga, converted to Christianity and to avoid persecution was sent away to the remote mountains of northern Honshu to live as a hermit. For the remainder of his life he studied the mysteries of Jesus and came to a shocking conclusion: Jesus’ teachings are a perfect fit into Japan’s traditions of the Samurai, Wa, the tea ceremony, gardens and nearly every aspect of Japanese culture. Obedient to a dream from God, Oda Nobumasa hid his discoveries in his tea room scrolls, to remain a family secret, until... Join Isaiah on this quest; finish, and you will see life, love and spirituality in a radically new way. “Our western world has been thirsting for a vision that can adequately blend Christianity with the depths of Asian culture and philosophy; this slowly brewed tea will satisfy.” —B.S., Amazon “Best novel I have read in a long time." —J., Amazon “WOW is an understatement... from beginning to the end, this book will move you!!!... the BEST novel I have ever read.” —PLS, Amazon “Isaiah is all of us who look for faith.” —C.N. BookBub “If I could recommend one book this year, it would be this. I couldn’t stop reading. I feel so full of hope after reading this book.” —L., Amazon, India “This is a beautiful story... overall sense is peace, spirituality and inner strength and faith. A very enlightening read whether you are Christian or not.” —C.N., BookBub “It’s hard to describe this novel. This is the new The Shack, but I think more biblically sound.” —G.B., Amazon India “Looking for inspiration? Here it is…read and absorb.” —G. H., Amazon “Moving story of redemption and love filled with romance and adventure. Yes, it moved me to tears.” —A.M., Amazon “A great read! It’s deep. Rich with great teaching that every Christian needs. Highly recommend.” —Z.H., Amazon “Incredible story! The reviews are right. You need to read this book!” —T., Amazon India “This book breaks all the molds! In my humble opinion this book will go down as one of the most epic Christian novels of the century.” —A.S., NetGalley “FIVE STARS ISN’T ENOUGH. The writing is excellent. For a first novel, this author shows talent rarely seen…ingenious weaving of biblical truths. [Regarding] The Shack references... I agree with the connection people are seeing … but I believe Slow Brewing Tea is better written and with more solid biblical content, making the tea room a better place to learn about Jesus than the shack. I cannot overstate how much the world needs this novel right now.” —D.D, NetGalley “Liquid wisdom, this novel is to be sipped and savored.” —B.S., Betareader
